The IESG narrative minutes are posted, whenever available, at http://www.ietf.org/IESG/iesg-narrative.html. Currently, three scribes (Spencer Dawkins, Marshall Eubanks, and Marc Blanchet) share the work load. The IESG would like to recruit another scribe. Other time commitments are not allowing these volunteers to adequately cover all of the IESG meetings. Volunteers should write to iesg@xxxxxxxx by January 28th. We'll keep names confidential, unless people choose to volunteer in public. The general guidelines are: - at least one scribe attends the regular IESG telechats (11:30 - 14:00 US ET on alternate Thursdays). - the scribe(s) will record narrative minutes of the discussions, but they will not take part in the discussions except to ask for clarifications. - the narrative minutes will be published after review by the IESG. The intent is to publish the narrative minutes within a month of the meeting. - confidential items (principally personnel discussions) will not be reported in detail. The scribe will not take part in any sessions from which liaisons are excluded (e.g., nomination and appeal discussions). The IESG scribes get a first hand opportunity to observe the IESG and their decision process. If we do not receive volunteers, then narrative minutes may have to be discontinued. We recognize that this will reduce transparency of the IESG, but without the people to the work, there is no choice.
